Warm & Comforting Blackberry Cobbler

I haven't even begun to get started with any kind of Christmas Shopping, let alone baking. Zip. None. Nada. My Winter Break vacation doesn't begin until December 23rd, and I'm taking a few night classes. In a nutshell, I'm busy! I've got just a couple of weekends to try and get some baking and a few edible gift ideas-- and I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off. Sigh. I'm telling you this, because I'm not posting Christmas recipe ideas that will inspire you. Epic fail. I will! But, in the meantime, I'm sharing just regular ole food that I'm been making for my family-- including this very simple dessert that was a smash hit with my men. It was quick to make, and that's a blessing on a work night. I didn't need to pull out my mixer, nor did I need to buy any special ingredients. My son has been asking me to make it again. Soon.

Fresh blackberries were on sale, while I was shopping for Thanksgiving. My husband loves berries almost as much as he loves bacon. Not together, of course. I had bookmarked the Pioneer Woman's Blackberry Cobbler recipe, that she featured with her Perfect Pot Roast recipe (the one that I adapted to be one of my best versions, if I do say so myself.)

Wash your berries (frozen work fine, too), and pat the dry. (The blackberries were huge!)

This is so easy to make, with pantry staples that you most likely already have. Preheat the oven to 350F and either butter or spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.

You need flour, baking powder (I don't use keep self-rising flour on hand, but you can use that instead and omit the baking powder), milk, 1/2 stick butter and sugar.

Whisk in the melted butter...

Whisk the dry ingredients, add half of the sugar, whisk in the milk until just blended and pour into a dish. How fast is that?!

Sprinkle the berries, evenly over the batter.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the sugar over the berries...

...Bake until golden and bubbly (about an hour). Ten minutes before it's finished baking, sprinkle a couple more tablespoons sugar over the cobbler.

This is best served warm...

I love the caramelized edges, from the extra sugar that was added while it baked.

Whipped cream is good, on top. But, I went for a quality vanilla ice cream. It's my favorite way to eat cobbler-- melted ice cream nice and cold, a bite of warm cobbler...

VERDICT: What do you think? Fantastic! Sweet, but not over-the-top. It was gone in no time, flat. The Pioneer Woman's recipe menu of her Perfect Pot Roast, followed by this Blackberry Cobbler is a perfect Sunday Supper kind of dinner that is sure to please. This dessert is a keeper, and it's so worth sharing with all of you.

Welcome!

Welcome to my internet kitchen. Please, sit back and relax, and watch me make delicious food and bakery recipes. Most of my recipes are simple, flavorful meals-- and a few baked treats. I focus on using fresh, seasonal ingredients and I try to avoid using boxed mixes and processed foods. I'm having fun learning how to cook like my grandmother once did-- from scratch! I hope that my step-by-step photos will inspire a timid cook to try them. Even if you're a seasoned cook, hopefully you'll learn a new tip or two.

If you have any questions,or just want to say "hello", please feel free to email me: foodiewife@gmail.com
